Abstract
The invention relates to an extractor for a revolver with a drum for extracting cartridges from cartridge chambers arranged in the drum wherein the extractor rod of the extractor is arranged in the axis of rotation of the drum and the extractor rod loaded by a spring cooperates with a multi-armed extractor star connected to the extractor rod, wherein the extractor star extends in the radial direction relative to the orientation of the extractor rod and the extractor star arms of the extractor star have end portions which correspond to a casing of the cartridge or a circumferential cartridge groove running around the casing of the cartridge.
Claims11
An extractor for a revolver comprising:
- a drum configured for extracting cartridges from cartridge chambers arranged in the drum;
- and
- an extractor rod arranged in an axis of rotation of the drum and loaded by a spring that cooperates with an extractor star connected to the extractor rod,
- wherein
- the extractor star extends in a radial direction relative to an orientation of the extractor rod,
- extractor star arms of the extractor star have end portions that correspond with a casing of the extracting cartridges or a circumferential cartridge groove on the casing of the extracting cartridges,
- the extractor star is constructed as a flat plate,
- each extractor star arm of the extractor star has an extractor star arm spring acting in the radial direction, which through the end portions of the extractor star arms cause a movement of the extractor star arms in the radial direction relative to the extractor rod,
- the extractor rod is connected to a locking plate extending in the radial direction, and
- the extractor star is arranged displaceably on the extractor rod while the locking plate is arranged in front of the extractor star in a direction of extraction.
